Is this what you actually believe?

>4 years later

Liberals arts student: Barista at Starbucks

Science student: $40K/year full time employment.

Engineering student: $60K/year full time employment.


>u mad?

>>4808528
No, I am not mad. As I said, I make 160k a year. Now fix my computer, IT monkey.

>>4808544

Nice try faggot. Enjoy your dream while you're unemployed.

There is a weird myth that STEM majors do better than everyone else. It's true in some rare cases, but is largely bullshit. Foreigners are cheaper, and they keep wages in most STEM fields low. You also top out at something pathetic like 40k.

Congratulations, you went to law school. Your problem is you confuse your salary with your overall societal benefit (Financefags also make shittons of money, but neither of you contribute to human progress in anyway). So applaud yourself, your choice of career is a testament to your own selfishness. While you spend the rest of your life quietly, desperately assuring yourself of your value by means of your paycheck, the underfunded and unappreciated scientists will be whole-heartedly giving their lives to the sort of work that truly benefits mankind. You're not successful, you're not intelligent, you're an irrelevant, forgettable leech, and nothing you do will ever benefit anyone but yourself.

>>4808544
True /sci/entists aren't in it for the money, if your brain could comprehend that they are doing something actually for the good of the species instead of themselves, you would know that.

>Liberal Arts Student
>bright academic future
>respected by society
good one OP

>>4808550
My salary is standard for big firm associates brah. Sorry your life sucks. Don't worry, though. You can do IP law and pwn regular lawyers (even me). It's not too late to leave stem bullshit.

While it is true that many lawyers are useless, lawyers are necessary in modern society. The relationships between institutions and individuals have grown more complex over time. In order for corporations and other institutions to work together function properly you need to have people who study the way that those relationships relate to the laws that make them possible. That is why lawyers are useful to society. Finance is also useful, although many financial firms are straight up evil. We need finance guys to allocate capital and drive economic growth.

>>4808554
yes, you are doing truly noble work. now get this piece of shit running, i have work to do before my meeting.

>>4808557

Nigga you must be high.
In my country lawyers literally beg for food and some money just to survive. Not considering that females and society respect more Engineers and Scientists than a regular stupid monkey like you. Keep feeling and eating your shit.
Not every country in this world are so retarded to place some major retards over Science and Development majors.

Math guys make more. Finance companies drool over their shit. And you are not making 160k straight out of law school, you are making 60k tops. Even from Ivy, maybe slightly more if you know people.

Science can make shit tons if they go into industry or if they get lucky with patents.

Majority of lib arts degrees are a waste of money because there is no job security. You are not a lib art major making 160k you are a law student making 160k. You can pass LSAT as an engineer, there is no specialized knowledge on it.

Science career in acedemia while shit pay guaranteed, you have job security and flexible as shit hours. Case and point, it's 3am im at work, and I'm not going to go tomorrow.

>>4808578
Yes, I am making 160k. That is the standard market salary at big firms. Stop commenting on things you obviously know nothing about.

If there were no lawyers:
>people would resort to vigilantism and the bad people would still be punished

If there were no stem majors:
>the world would have no power, buildings and bridges would decay and collapse, generally really bad shit.

Which is more detrimental to society?

>>4808528
>poli sci major
>160k/year

ITT: OP is fucking miserable with his life, tries to make others feel bad to boost his self-esteem

Yeah, you seem to have it all together OP (sarcasm)

I love OP. he's making his point. You're all going naah naah can't be true. retards.

Not OP but it's true that the starting biglaw salaries are 160k. My brother is an attorney in NYC. It's very difficult to land an elite biglaw job, but it's a well paid gig.

>>4808577
what country are you in?

i held hands with a girl when i was in kindergarten

does that count? i liked her a lot

>>4808557

Even if this were true, you'd be an outlier. And chances are, with the multitude of shitlaw firms out there (I include IP law), you're not contributing shit back to society. I'd be astounded if you somehow were. But this is too unlikely some troll who read a few statistics and got a nice picture off /lit/ - a real big time lawyer wouldn't be wasting their time in this shithole, they'd have lost touch with less significant society a long time ago.

Anyway, many people are not so lucky and end up in unpayable law school debt that forces bankruptcy. The only people really succeeding at obtaining debt paying jobs in this field are the ones with friends or relatives within big law already, or those that lucked out even further at a T1 school with top 10 grades. Liberal Arts is in just a bad place as the STEM fields will be once jobs start clogging up.

GUESS WHAT? NO LAWYERS IN THERE!!! YFW

>>4808553
lol OP probably pays more in taxes which fund the projects you work on.

>>4808603

>>4808606
Law isn't an undergrad degree retard.

>>4808616

He mad.

fuck off

be sure to enjoy the ban on the way out

>>4808606
>Electrical engineering pays more than nuclear engineering

What in the actual fuck?

I've always considered large law firms to be very respectable. Their projects seem complex and intellectually stimulating, the pay is competitive, etc. The ambulance chasing scumbags from shit tier law schools give the profession a horrible name though

>>4808614
Biglawyers are outliers, but most of the people at my law school went into biglaw (went to Columbia law). I don't know why you think lawyers can't enjoy shit like 4chan.

>>4808628
So you succeeded at shitlaw? Clarifies things.

>>4808636
No I work in biglaw

>>4808582
Sure if you know people you can land a big firm fresh out of school, you don't know people. Do you even comprehend how much your shit lies smell right now? To even go to a dinner party with these people means you were born with a cigar in your mouth and a golf club up your ass -unless you're 'in the family'.

I'm sure a big league fuck like you would troll around on /sci/ on 4chan.

You are a pol sci undergrad that's angry your science major friends think your classes are piss water easy. Guess what fucker, they are.

$160k EXACTLY?!!?

that seems pretty suspicious.

like last year I think I grossed $222,685.37, which I rounded off and called $222,685 when reporting income to the IRS.

how do you get such a nice even number, OP?
by lying?

>>4808660

are you fifteen? or is that with monopoly money?

>>4808528
i am all three of those guys in OP's picture
